Java Devs Slam Apple’s Big Spotted Cat (a leopard?)

It was with much interest that I read a post on javalobby.org yesterday all about Leopard and its lack of a Java 6 package as well as a buggy Java 5. Hyperic being a software house that does much of its engineering in Java, as well as ardent fans of OS X, this was of much interest to us. From the linked post, above, I also noticed that none other than James Gosling subscribes to this view, so clearly this opinion is not just limited to the ranting blogger set.

We have procured the big spotted cat and will run HQ through its paces on said operating system. Since HQ does not require Java 6, we don’t foresee any major issues, but expect a writeup in the next couple of days on the topic of HQ and Leopard. If anything pops up, we’ll make sure to mention it there.
